SQL: OPENQUERY Question

Question

I am currently using OPENQUERY to import Data into a Database from an Oracle Linked Server.

I am currently using SELECT INTO. It works well, but I have to drop the database and recreate it everytime i need to import the data or else i get the error: Table Already exists.

Is there another way to work with OPENQUERY which will import the data without having to Drop and recreate the table that i need?

Here is what i Have:

SELECT * INTO TEMPTBL FROM OPENQUERY(LINK, 'SELECT * FROM DATALOAD')

Thanks.

Answer 1

Why not this? INSERT INTO PERMTBL (column list) SELECT (column list) FROM OPENQUERY(LINK, 'SELECT (column list) FROM DATALOAD')
